Free School Meals (FSM) and Clothing Grant

You can get free meals if your child attends a Haringey school which is not shown below and you get one of the benefits or NASS support shown below. If you are a Haringey resident you may also be able to get a one-off clothing grant if you get one of the benefits or NASS support shown below and your child is transferring to a secondary in September 2011 at age 11:

  • Income Support
  • Income Based Job Seekers Allowance
  • Income Related Employment and Support Allowances ESA(IR)
  • Child Tax Credit providing you are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and your annual income as assessed by Revenues and Customs is below £16,190
  • Guaranteed Element of State Pension Credit
  • Or if you are supported by NASS and supported under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. You must provide your NASS reference number.

You do not need to submit evidence of the above benefit or NASS support that you get as we will check centrally if you qualify.

If this is your first application for FSM or applying for a clothing grant you should submit one of the following:

  • A letter from the Child Benefit Agency (the letter must give the child's, or children’s, names and for a clothing grant your child’s medical card also).
  • A long/full birth certificate showing your child’s name and parent(s) names.
